Victoria, BC, Canada – Walking around with Jen (Expat Traveller) etc

I can’t believe it’s more than 3 Months since we met Jen, P and Cammie in Victoria at Vancouver Island.
Face to face for the first time.
We miss them all and Victoria.
Just see the Photos and you’ll understand why.

Left: P and Cammie.
Above: Jen and Cammie
Jen is mostly known as Expat Traveler

Here you see our wonderful hosts and for many years blogfriends.
One of the wonderful things to be better known is to make dinner together. Here Jen and Anna.
The result – What’s better on a Summer Day?

We walked a tour along The inner Harbour of Victoria, and we felt at Home.

Before the arrival of the Europeans in the late 1700s, the Victoria area was home to several communities of Coast Salish peoples, including the Songish (Songhees). Coast Salish refers to First Nation or Native American cultures who inhabited areas in British Columbia and Washington state. Up right you see a Totem, that is now dived in 3 pieces. At a holy ground for the Songhees. In respect of this native nation please read.

Next destination?
Might it be Provence in Southern France, Germany, Norway, USA or from our Archives?

I know you had a great time in Victoria – you were with friends and the city is so beautiful and friendly. We went there 3 times but it has been a while now and I wish we could go back soon. Thanks for coming to my blog and commenting. I have not been to Michigan – well I went there after I arrived in the US but that was in the 1960s! What part of Michigan will you visit?

Love the sea photos and that salad looks so good! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving an encouraging comment. Cool that you come to Michigan on occasion to visti your son. I live in south central Michigan.
